Know the electrical before
you sign the contract.
An independent electrical risk assessment for Adelaide home buyers. We inspect, rate the risk, and give you a clear decision — in plain English — before settlement.
Report delivered within 24 hours.
Your report will tell you one of three things
We don't write 40-page technical reports. We give you a clear verdict and a cost estimate.
Built for home buyers
A standard building inspection tells you about cracks and roof tiles. It rarely goes deep on the electrical system — and an outdated switchboard or non-compliant wiring can cost tens of thousands to fix post-settlement.
Our inspection is designed to run alongside your building inspection, in the same inspection window. One extra call, and you'll have the complete picture before you commit.
- Run alongside your building inspection — same day
- Complete in approximately 60 minutes on site
- Plain-English report — no electrician required to interpret
- Clear cost estimate for any remediation work
- Useful for price negotiation with vendor
- We're independent — we don't profit from recommending repairs

Why $495?
A standard building inspection costs $500–700 and barely touches the electrical system. Our inspection is focused exclusively on electrical — which is where the expensive surprises hide.
If we find an Option C situation and you use our report to negotiate the price down, it typically pays for itself 20 to 30 times over.
Invoice issued on report delivery. Payment by bank transfer or card.
Common questions
Yes — and we recommend it. Both inspections can run simultaneously, meaning no additional access trip for the agent. Just give us the same date and time window.
No. We just need access arranged — usually through the selling agent. We'll co-ordinate directly with them if you prefer.
Absolutely. Our cost estimates are conservative and based on real Adelaide market rates. Many buyers use the remediation figure directly in their offer negotiation.
We typically have availability within 1–2 business days. For urgent settlements, call us directly and we'll do our best to accommodate same-day or next-morning.
We are a pure inspection and advisory business. We do not quote for or carry out remediation work on properties we inspect. This keeps our reports completely independent.
